Congratulated by Bhupinder S Hooda
Manu Bhaker, a 22-year-old shooter from Haryana, has won a bronze medal in the 10 M Women’s Air Pistol event at the Paris Olympics. Former Chief Minister of Haryana, Bhupinder S Hooda, congratulated her and expressed pride in her achievement.
Hooda said, “Many congratulations and best wishes to Haryana’s daughter, Manu Bhaker, for opening India’s account in the medal tally by winning the first medal for the country in the Paris Olympics. All of us in the country and state are filled with joy at our daughter Manu winning the bronze medal. Many congratulations to Manu’s family as well. We are proud of our players.”
Manu Bhaker finished third in the final of the Women’s Air Pistol event, securing a bronze medal with a score of 221.7. This win marks India’s first medal in the ongoing Olympics and is a redemption for Bhaker after her pistol malfunctioned at the Tokyo Olympics.
